Before suburbs arrived, the land west of Broward's coastal cities was dairy country. Dairies spread across western Broward from the late 1920s, among them Henry D. Perry's, and in 1943 Perry gave land to the Navy for a World War II training field that became North Perry Airport; Broward County took over the field in 1957. The first subdivisions, Pembroke Pines #1 and #2, were laid out in 1954 between SW 72nd Avenue and the then-new Florida Turnpike, and the first houses went up in 1956 on former dairy land north of Pembroke Road. The name draws on Pembroke Road and the area's pines.
A village was incorporated in 1959 but dissolved the same year after a court found the ballot had misdescribed its boundaries. A second vote in January 1960 created the City of Pembroke Pines, then about one square mile bounded by Pembroke Road, Hollywood Boulevard, SW 72nd Avenue and the Turnpike. Early meetings were held on the patio of the first mayor, Dr. Walter Seth Kipnis, and the city charter was finally ratified in 1961 after delays that included one caused by Hurricane Donna.
Growth came by annexation. A 1980 vote added roughly 10,000 acres reaching west to U.S. 27, about doubling the city, and Interstate 75 was extended through the new western lands in the same era. Large developments such as Pembroke Lakes and the Century Village condominiums followed, and the three-building Charles Flanagan government center opened on Pines Boulevard in 1988. After Hurricane Andrew struck South Miami-Dade in 1992, many displaced households settled in new Pembroke Pines subdivisions, and the 1990s became the city's biggest building decade. The Hollywood Sportatorium, a concert arena that operated from 1970 to 1988 in the annexed area, was torn down in 1993, and the last dairy in Broward County, the Waldrep farm, closed in 2005 and became the Walnut Creek subdivision.
Pembroke Pines is a long east-west city, more than 34 square miles, running from the Florida Turnpike on the east to U.S. 27 on the west. The oldest blocks are in the east, around Pembroke Road, Hollywood Boulevard and SW 72nd Avenue near North Perry Airport, where the original 1950s subdivisions stand. Moving west, the housing gets steadily newer: the city's housing element shows that most homes date from the 1990s, with the 1980s and 1970s next, and the areas west of Interstate 75 are largely subdivisions built in the years after Hurricane Andrew.
The city's own planning documents describe a suburban community where detached and attached single-family homes make up about two-thirds of the housing, with the rest mostly townhouses, garden apartments and mid-rise condominiums plus a small share of mobile homes. Much of the city was built as large planned developments with their own names, such as Pembroke Lakes, Walnut Creek and the Century Village condominiums.
Pines Boulevard is the main spine, lined with shopping centers, offices and civic buildings. The Charles F. Dodge City Center at 601 City Center Way holds City Hall offices and an event hall, and Pembroke Lakes Mall and the open-air Shops at Pembroke Gardens are the largest shopping destinations. Neighborhood parks and pools are spread through the city, including Donnith H. Fletcher Memorial Park on Johnson Street, William B. Armstrong Dream Park on NW 160th Avenue and the Pines Recreation Center on Pines Boulevard.
The city is laid out on a grid of wide arterials. Pines Boulevard, called Hollywood Boulevard until 1974 inside city limits, is the main east-west road, with Pembroke Road, Sheridan Street and Johnson Street running parallel. University Drive, Flamingo Road and Dykes Road run north-south. Florida's Turnpike forms the eastern edge, Interstate 75 crosses the western half of the city, and U.S. 27 marks the western boundary. Greater Fort Lauderdale's visitor bureau puts Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport about 20 minutes away by car and Miami International about 30 minutes.
Broward County Transit Route 7 runs the length of Pines and Hollywood boulevards, from NW 210th Avenue at the western end of the city past Century Village, Pembroke Lakes Mall and Broward College South Campus to Young Circle in downtown Hollywood. As of its October 2024 timetable it runs daily, with weekday trips from about 5 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.; the route map marks the Hollywood Tri-Rail and Amtrak station along the way, the nearest commuter rail. The city also operates community shuttles (Green, Gold and Blue routes) that connect neighborhoods to the county bus network; all county community shuttles carry bike racks and are wheelchair accessible.
North Perry Airport, a county-owned general aviation field on the east side of the city, handles small private planes. Neither major airline airport is in the city; travelers use Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood or Miami International.
C.B. Smith Park, a Broward County park at Pines Boulevard and Flamingo Road, is the city's largest recreation site, with a lake, walking and biking trails, tennis and pickleball courts, a campground with RV sites and a fishing pier, and Paradise Cove, a water park with a lazy river and slides that charges its own admission. On the western side, the city's Chapel Trail Nature Preserve protects about 450 acres of wetland, with a boardwalk of roughly 1,650 feet and an observation pavilion; the city lists about 120 bird species there, along with deer, alligators and turtles.
For indoor recreation, Pines Ice Arena offers public skating sessions and lessons. The Great Hall at the Charles F. Dodge City Center hosts concerts, comedy and theater, and the Pembroke Pines Theater of the Performing Arts stages community productions. The city's parks system leans heavily toward athletics, with dozens of ballfields, lighted tennis courts and in-line hockey rinks spread across neighborhood parks.
Broward County Library has two large branches in the city: South Regional Library at 7300 Pines Boulevard, on the Broward College South Campus, and Southwest Regional Library at 16835 Sheridan Street. Pines Boulevard's shopping centers, including Pembroke Lakes Mall with its movie theater and the outdoor Shops at Pembroke Gardens, serve as the city's main commercial gathering places, since Pembroke Pines has no traditional downtown.
